Learn how to find the missing Gorons in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for the Nintendo Switch 2. Includes information on how to stop the rolling Goron in Goron City, how to survive Death Mountain Crater, and how to reach the Fire Temple.
Going to Goron City
After obtaining the Forest Medallion from Saria, it’s time to depart to Death Mountain. The path to Goron City is a bit more dangerous as boulders now roll down Death Mountain Trail.
Once there, you’ll find Goron City to be devoid of life as all of the Gorons are missing. Only one lone Goron is around, and he’ll start rolling away from you when you find him. Use a Bomb or Bombchu and put it along the Goron’s path as the explosion will stop him.
This young Goron is named Link. He’ll tell you how Ganondorf released an evil dragon and is planning to feed the Gorons to it. Darunia has left for the Fire Temple to fight the dragon and free his people.
Link will then give you the Goron Tunic, a heat-resistant tunic that let you survive inside hot areas such as Death Mountain Crater. It also reduces fire damage taken by half!
Link the Goron will open the door to the Goron Shop and Darunia’s room. Go to Darunia’s room and pull back the statue on the back wall to reveal a shortcut to Death Mountain Crater. Be sure to equip your Goron Tunic before going inside.
If you ever need a replacement Goron Tunic, you can purchase one from the Goron Shop for 600 rupees.
Bolero of Fire
After entering Death Mountain Crater from Goron City, you’ll find a broken bridge to your left. Use the Hookshot to get across and walk to large pedestal ahead. Sheik will appear and teach you the Bolero of Fire.
Things will get a bit heated inside, so it’s good to get some supplies if you haven’t done so already. Keeping a Pink Fairy or two handy is good as the terrain is hazardous, it’s easy to fall into a pit of lava.
